Bio
Associate professor with aggregation at the University of Lisbon School of Human Motricity. Her teaching activities are in the context of the evaluation of physical activity and physical fitness in general and the prescription of exercise for elderly people in particular.
Her research is now focused on the study of the musculoskeletal health phenotype – how physical activity/exercise and physical fitness determine: the peak of muscle mass and bone mass during the growth process, sarcopenia, osteopenia, fragility and falls during the ageing process and clinical conditions/treatments with side effects on musculoskeletal health.
